Journal Entry 002: 18" Style 513M Wheel Weights/info
First thing on the agenda is to to gather info. Since we'll be upgrading the wheels later down the road, there was no reason to opt for the 19" 437Ms.
Removed the 18" wheels for data recording:

It's a tough road ahead for wheel manufacturers in order to keep within the ballpark of stock weights.
